Description

Wireless sensing system and the bearing arrangement that has wireless senser
Technical field
The present invention relates to send various transducing signals with wireless mode, such as, be arranged at such wireless sensing system such as the detection signal of revolution on the bearing apparatus for wheel of various plant equipment, automobile etc. and adopt the bearing arrangement that has wireless senser of the bearing apparatus for wheel etc. of this system.
Background technology
In automobile, various industrial machines etc.,, be used to detect bearing, other the various detected objects of rotational speed, temperature, vibration etc. of each several part, the occasion of the control of equipment, condition managing etc. by various sensors are set.The output of such sensor generally sends detection signal in wired mode, but has the situation that is difficult to the wiring place that obtains to be fit to.In such occasion, adopt the wireless sensing system that sends detection signal by electromagnetic wave.Transmitter has compact battery.
On the other hand, detecting wheel revolutions by rotation sensor, carry out among the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) of vehicle braked control, the reduction of the preventing of the accident that causes for the breakage of seeking the sensor wire in the tire housing, assembly cost, people propose to eliminate the lead between wheel and the car body, the wireless mode (TOHKEMY 2002-151090 document) that will send as electromagnetic wave etc. as the detection signal of rotation sensor.In the representative instance of this rotation sensor, adopt multipole rotary generator, the sensor that carries out simultaneously itself generating electricity uses the supply of electric power and revolution to detect with electric power and transmitter, thus, do not power compact conformation (with reference to TOHKEMY 2002-55113 document) to rotation sensor from car body.
In addition, TOHKEMY 2003-146196 document relates in the wheel bearing that has the rotation sensor that carries out the wireless signal transmission, the invention of own diagnostic circuit is set, the power supply of sensor and radio transmitters is a prerequisite with the condition that the generator by while double as rotation sensor carries out, but, also relate to wireless power.
In TOHKEMY 2003-58976 document, propose transducing signal is carried out digitized processing, to its mode that sends.Power supply adopts battery or generator.
Be that battery has the life-span in the wireless sensing system of power supply with above-mentioned battery, must changing battery corresponding to consuming, the life-span management trouble of battery.The problem of environment that also has the Battery disposal followed.
In carrying out the above-mentioned rotation sensor that oneself generates electricity, because wheel rotation is at first generated electricity, so though according to moving as about 10Km/h of the operating space of ABS or above velocity-stabilization ground, but have in occasion, detect unsettled situation near the Ultra-Low Speed that stops.In addition, can't be applied to rotate detected object beyond detecting, such as, the occasion of temperature detection etc.
In addition, in the occasion of wireless power, owing to the efficient of comparing with power supply, the generator of wiring is bad, so must send more electric weight in order to power.But, considering that power supply is bad, sending the occasion of big electric weight at ordinary times continuously, have the problem that the power consumption of entire system increases.
Like this, in wireless sensor system, this stable power guarantee to become problem.
On the other hand, in wireless sensing system, aspect the reliability of system, there is a problem in be interfered the easily influence of clutter of the transducing signal of wireless transmission at present.Such as, in the disclosed scheme of TOHKEMY 2003-146196 document,, have the problem of the interference of above-mentioned transducing signal though obtain power supply at ordinary times in order to carry out wireless power.In addition, the occasion of a plurality of wireless sensing components is being set,, is changing the transducing signal transmission frequency, necessarily requiring to be provided with and the corresponding a plurality of receiving circuits of this frequency at each wireless sensing component in order to discern each wireless sensing component.The electromagnetic wave that wireless power is used is that unmodulated electromagnetic mode is simple.But,,, necessarily require to make frequency different in electromagnetic wave, or make the mutual dispar processing of plane of polarization at power consumption magnetic wave and transducing signal for fear of the electromagnetic air interference that power consumption magnetic wave and transducing signal are used in this occasion.
In the disclosed scheme of TOHKEMY 2003-58976 document,, it is sent because transducing signal is carried out digitized processing, so advantage of the influence that acquisition is difficult to be interfered, but, because power supply adopts battery or generator, so have and the identical problem of above-mentioned each example.
Like this, in wireless sensing system, the reliability of the guaranteeing of power supply, transducing signal becomes problem.
